Discussion of new guidelines for recording validation

Hi, I’m happy to finally find the guidelines. I believe they should be added somewhere on the main site. Phrases that I found there, “Users validate the accuracy of donated clips, checking that the speaker read the sentence correctly” and “did they accurately speak the sentence?” are just too vague.
I understand that the extensive guidelines are hidden here to avoid scaring new users, but I think these should be available on the main site for users who prefers to be precise in their decisions in validating/rejecting clips.

@Michael_Maggs
Misspelling, “out” is written twice in the guideline.

Well spotted! I’ve made the correction.

Are these guidelines going to be published somewhere one the main page? Right now they’re very hard to find.

Hi @EwoutH, welcome to the Common Voice community!

This is definitely something we want to see how to best implement on the site in 2020. Right now the development focus is on the infrastructure improvements.

We’ll definitely use this work to inform any changes in 2020.

Thanks!
